I feel like Asim has a very consistent pattern to how he reacts when he is bullied or attacked. This may be a new side to him courtesy Paras, Mahira and Sana who used to bully him at the drop of a hat.
I love the way Asim handles these bullies by their horns. He looks them in the eye, sits right in front of them and will not give up. Time and again he does this until they walk away. Some might call it poking and dragging the fight but it's giving the desired result? His bullies walk off. Now they are scared of him. A great example of how to deal with bullies. They might break you in the beginning but if one can find the confidence then attack them this way.
I really don't think he does it for footage cause we would see variations in his behavior but it is so CONSISTENT. I don't even find him that aggressive. No comparison to Shukla. Sometimes he is so angry but am amazed how controlled he still is - both physically and verbally. He knows the boundaries. So so impressed with his growth on the show. I am taking inspiration from him as to how to handle the bullies.
